Welcome to Summer Term Week 4.

How are you my lovely Goldfinches and how was your long weekend? I hope you enjoyed VE Day on Friday. We enjoyed decorating the front of our house then had a lovely picnic on our front driveway, which is something we have never done before! 

Here is a little something for you all from the adults at school: (click on the link below) 

Lostock Gralam C of E - When I grow Up

Thank you to any of you who have sent your art work or letters to the Sharing Window in school- it is looking wonderful and I am sure it makes everybody smile as they go past on their daily walk. 

I have attached the video game and book review pages to the Goldfinch class page in case anyone wants to do one in the next few days. 

One of our wonderful Goldfinches has been using an APP called Noteflight which is a great online resource, and fun to write music on. He tried making variations to Twinkle Twinkle on it and found it lots of fun so I thought I would share it with you all.

School Jobs: 

English:  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/zp937p3 Remind yourselves about fronted adverbials with this BBC Bitesize clip. Have a go at the activities too.

Times Tables: Write the multiples of the 7 times table on cards/post-its. Play the 'Let's turn the easy facts over' game like we do in school. Which ones will you turn over first? Why? 

Spellings: This week I would like you to review your spellings of the first 100 High Frequency words (attached)  Ask an adult to test you. You can either say the spellings aloud or write them down. (Don't try and do them all at once, there are 100!) This is something we do every now and again in school to check in with how confident you are. If you like, you could  tick or highlight the ones you get right or, if you aren't printing them out, just write down any words you spelled wrong (maybe on a book mark) so you can practise them. 

DT Topic: Food and Healthy Eating 

Use the websites on the weekly plan and the attachments on today's blog to help you learn about healthy eating this week. You could....

-Find out about the different food groups, learn their names and what they help your body to do. 

-Keep a food diary.

-Arrange with an adult in your house to help plan and cook some meals over the next few days. What ingredients will you need? Will you follow a recipe? Is your meal a balanced meal? 

-Use the Healthy Plate and other resources attached to help you design your menu.

SAFETY: Please do not use the oven/microwave/kettle/toaster or any other elecrical cooking devices without adult supervision.

Have fun today my lovely team

Message from Mrs Powell:

Flowers

Have you planted your sunflower seed? All flowers are different and amazing, so, too, people are all different, but all wonderfully made. Just as flowers can brighten our day when we see them, so, too, each of us can brighten other people’s days by our care and our attitudes. We thank you, God, for the beauty of flowers. Giving flowers shows that we care. Flowers can brighten our day and fill our hearts with gladness. Please help us to be like flowers to other people, Brightening their day and bringing joy to those around us. Amen. Why don’t you give flower-pressing a go!
